Abstract

In a method for maximizing information content of logs, a log message from an executing software program is received. The log message includes a timestamp, a source code location ID, a session ID, and a log message text. The timestamp, the source code location ID, and the session ID of the log message are stored in a lossless buffer. A hash function value of the session ID is determined. It is determined that the hash function value of the session ID is less than a hash value threshold. The log message text is stored in a session buffer in response to determining that the hash function value of the session ID is less than the hash value threshold, wherein the session buffer contains log message texts of log messages with corresponding hash function values less than the hash value threshold.
